Backstory

Dupluna was born on Wednesday, September 10th, 1000th year of Celestial era. Dupluna lived most of her live in Anti-Equestria. At age of 7, she started Canterlot Elementary School. Dupluna finished school at the age of 8 because the school's education department placed her in 5th grade. At the age of 11, she finished Middle School, but Anti-Equestria doesn't have high schools so Dupluna's school time ended very early.

Dupluna has a sister named Fauxlestia and a mother whose name is Galaxy. What happened to their father or his thereabouts are unknown.

After Dupluna finished school, she and her family moved to Equestria. Her mother currently works as Princess Celestia's helper.

Dupluna has an owl pet named Booky.

The event will feature two new songs - "The Magic of Friendship Grows" and "Rules of Rarity."
Play both songs on any difficulty, and submit your results in this topic, by attaching screenshots or photos of your screen in your reply.
An example of a valid submission:

Please ensure your screenshots/photos capture the following fragments: Title of the song (at the top - submit both, "The Magic of Friendship Grows," and "Rules of Rarity") Your Completion Rate (on the center - must be at least 10% to qualify) Your UID (in the bottom right corner - you have to be logged on MLPF)

These three need to be at least somewhat legible to be eligible for receiving the badge!
After you submit valid screenshots/photos of your results from both songs, you'll receive the badge within 24 hours. You don't have to submit both in the same post. You can submit one, then come back sometime later to submit the other one. The recent post will grant you the badge, if all your posts combined meet the criteria. If you haven't received the badge after 24 hours, please make sure your posts qualify for the badge, and feel free to ask, if you're uncertain.
That's it for the badge. Other than that, you're more than welcome to have a chat and continue sharing your results just for fun.

What's New?
2 NEW SONGS!
"The Magic of Friendship Grows" and "Rules of Rarity"!
This time the game doesn't have any particular theme. I just added songs, that were requested/mentioned during previous events. It's all for you ponies! Thank you for supporting the game! 💛 There were more songs mentioned, but it took me a long time to polish the game overall, so for now I selected only two.
Also these songs are in their full glory! I've listened to your feedback and didn't cut songs to make them shorter. You can blast pony songs on full volume and sing along!
...and nothing too crazy besides that I suppose. I improved some core parts of the game and added plenty of quality of life improvements. Probably most of these changes will be overlooked, but it's all thanks to the little details, that make the game prettier.
Here's the list of changes:

Friendship Melody 1.3.0 Full Changelog
GAMEPLAY
2 new songs The Magic of Friendship Grows Song Duration: 3m 17s Notes: EASY 400 / NORMAL 585 Rules of Rarity Song Duration: 2m 32s Notes: EASY 295 / NORMAL 493 added CONTROLLER support Plug and play, just connect your gamepad, press any button and the interface will show gamepad controls I believe it was @Pandora, who mentioned wanting controller support, I added it with you in mind and I hope you're doing well 💛 added save system high scores and settings are automatically saved into your browser's storage autosave is first-created / overwritten when: clicking "Save" in any relevant settings menu the moment the player enters the Results Screen after finishing the song WARNING! How the save is stored, and if the game will be saved at all, may vary between devices/browsers. Clearing browser's data might wipe out the save as well. Browsing incognito may erase data after you close the tab, or prevent from anything being saved in the first place. Generally, it's an experimental feature, so don't take anything for granted. DISCLAIMER The game uses auto-save feature, which, unless prevented by any means, writes a tiny little bit of data into your browser storage without any prompt. The data is strictly related to your in-game settings and scores, and absolutely nothing else. These are not cookies used for marketing (lol) or anything like this, so of course it's nothing crazy, but please be aware, that the game does something like this. If for some reason you see it as a problem, please let me know. reduced score penalty for Mistaps from 50 to 10 points hopefully this will help @Ice Princess Silky <3 to stay above 0 points JK score can no longer drop below 0 if reduced score penalty won't do the trick, have this as well changed slider sprites (from pink-yellow notes with star in the middle to purple notes with arrows) it was mentioned these aren't that easy to distinguish from normal notes, so I made new sprites with vastly different colors notes are now tilted towards the lane path minor visual changes song name and the difficulty is displayed in the upper left corner above score added star rating bar above score, which displays the current success rate (completion rate in the results screen) the bar displays segments for each star rating, and changes its color depending on current star rating FIXED: It was reported, that sometimes the keyboard input wasn't recognized at all. It turned out, that due to my oversight, the controls were CASE-SENSITIVE. This meant, that enabled CAPS-LOCK could prevent input from being recognized. I have adjusted the key-bindings to be CASE-insensitive. MENU NAVIGATION OVERHAUL
added full keyboard and controller support for menu navigation now players don't have to grab the mouse just for that added key/button hints in various menu elements added fadeouts when entering/exiting some interface screens for smoother experience and to prevent accidental mistaps when navigating menus (notably accidentally setting volume to max after leaving results screen, due to volume slider appearing where "Return" button was - bro was I jumpscared... ) TITLE SCREEN
minor visual changes changed background music the game can be activated and started using space or confirm button on controller, if the canvas is active (the game window is in focus) HOME (SONG SELECT) SCREEN
improved visuals and added new animations song duration and map's note count is no longer displayed on entries of the song list. This information is displayed in the selected song's details to the right. entries on the song list now display achieved best star-rating the difficulty is no longer set on per-song basis. Instead, it's a single global setting RESULTS SCREEN
the performance's summary in Results Screen now displays "NEW BEST!" tag if new personal best has been made the title of played song no longer mentions difficulty by name. Instead, the difficulty is represented by its background color LAYOUT CONFIGURATION
Note Speed setting now accurately represents the actual Speed multiplier. The default is x1.0, and it can be adjusted from x0.5 to x2.0, which realistically means from half to double speed. Previously, due to how Speed was originally programmed, it used to display a rather arbitrary value to more or less visualize the difference, but it never meant the actual multiplier, hence why the default was x1.9. In this version, how the Speed is calculated was reprogrammed to allow accurate, user-friendly configuration

Potentially Asked Questions
Q: Do I have to download the game?
A: No, it's playable inside MLP Forums. Just keep in mind, that the game will have to load assets, notably music tracks, that might weight a bit. Refreshing the page will require the game to load assets again, and the process may vary between browsers/devices. Typically files should be cached by your browser into your local storage to avoid having to redownload them, but there are factors, that may affect this.
Q: The game broke, what should I do?
A: Refresh the page, and if possible, please reply here to let me know what happened, so that I can look into it.
Q: What if the game gets stuck at loading resources?
A: If it gets stuck on "loading music" without displaying any in-game errors, close the game and try again few minutes later. Generally, the first time you run the game, it should load the files without problems. However, if you refresh the page and attempt to load assets multiple times in quick succession, the server MLPF is run on may refuse to provide music files, and constantly refreshing the page will not help. This is something I haven't figured out a workaround for yet.
Q: I entered the Gameplay Screen, but nothing is happening, what to do?
A: The game is unplayable if relevant song file cannot be played. Given it's a rhythm, music-focused game, the timing and some of the game functions rely directly on song files and their parameters. If the song doesn't play, the map attached to it can't be played properly. This may happen, when for whatever reason the game went through the loading screen even if the files weren't properly provided by the server, OR when music files stop working in the middle of session (maybe your browser freed these from memory or something). You can try to choose another song that still works, or refresh the page to reload all files.

Because it's a browser game, and there are plenty of browsers that behave differently, and also because the game loads files from the server I have no control of, unfortunately I cannot guarantee bug-free experience despite my best efforts. When I play the game locally during development, such problems don't occur. Of course if anyone manages to find ways to improve the game's stability and quality overall, I'll do my best to try things out. Thank you for your understanding.

I hope you'll have fun!
